Tarn Valley, home to a warrior clan of great caliber. The decepticons, of a ancient race that came to the americas via the former bering strait; now ruled the valley and the territories that surrounded it.

So powerful that they control nigh the region besides their rival clan, the autobots, that controlled the great lake, and swamp region.

With their chief lord megatron an ever authoritarian yet slightly just leader, then their was commander of the seeker battalion, starscream, a intelligent yet deceitful warrior who commanded the warriors who rode wild horses and commanded falcons.

The tribe would also not be as powerful as it was without its spymaster and the voodoo doctor. A silent man the spymaster is, he who took in strays and knew ever secret and every word said in the region. And lastly, the voodoo doctor, a white man, who adopted the name shockwave, from the east who knew magic that he called science.

the decepticons were a strong tribe and a death sentence to encounter on the battlefield.

yet... maybe they weren't so cruel... maybe this "cruel" and "monstrous" tribe knew when and where to harm... or heal.

*Soundwave had finally finished washing his panther, ravage. oh what a mangy beast his feline could become, no matter how many times he tried to tell the panther (and his sons) to not play in the mud.

At least his cat is clean... His boys however? soaking in the bathhouse with uncle skywarp, one of starscream's lieutenants.

"Soundwave" the white man's, shockwave (his new name), voice called to the spymaster "we found something on the borders of our territory. Megatron has called his commanders to see what was found by seeker slipstream."
